the babies are gone, never to return..

 

These two adorable newborns, weighing only 4 pounds and fitting between my hand and elbow easily, (truly, they were doll-sized), are now four years old and off to kindy!

where did those four years go?? they just flew away.


Matching unicorn backpacks,  and shoes! They're not used to keeping shoes on all day. They love running around with bare feet.

  2. There is nothing as beautiful as newborn twins. They can grow up with their closest friend. And yours are so cute.

    All of my grandchildren are growing beautifully, tall and fit. Only one set of girl twins did not survive the very end of pregnancy and everyone was heartbroken.

    1. hels; these two are so close, they held hands to sleep for their first six months and as toddlers would often take a pillow and climb into the bed where the other one was. I am very sorry to hear of the twins not surviving. 😢😢

  4. And soon they turn 16, I tell you! They are lucky, they have one another. I remember how scared I was on my first day of kindy!

    1. Iris; I didn't go to Kindy, not everyone did back then, but I don't remember being scared on my first day. Please don't let "my" girls be 16 too soon! I am glad they have each other, that will be a big comfort to them.

  11. It's amazing how nice they have grown up, and they had such a bad start into life

    1. Ingrid; they didn't have a bad start, they were just born a few weeks early on purpose because one had stopped growing in the womb, but she made up for it quickly.

  12. Oh dear, I know the abrupt feeling of where did the time go! School and shoes all day marks the end and a beginning. Off they go into the world of influence and change and exciting learning!

  13. Oh my gosh! How did this day come so soon? Such a milestone for them. I'm betting they will love school. Will they be in the same class? I remember when some schools separated twins so they could be their own person. I didn't like that idea.

    1. Val; i'm not sure about school and separation, this is just kindergarten for now until they are five, then proper school starts. I think they might keep them in the same class then for the first year at least. I don't like the thought of them being separated.

  16. Nice. They have changed a lot since I last saw photos of them.

    1. Andrew; thank you. I don't post photos as much as I used to now that they are older, also I don't take as many when I visit because we are too busy playing or colouring. That will change too now I guess, they will be "teaching me" what they learned.
